THE
ANGLO-ARAB FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MUFTI
The
Mufti
exonerated.
Hounded
thus
from one Islamic country to another, where could he be sate ?
Asia and Africa being closed, it was in Europe alone that no
Zionist influence could secure his arrest. First in Italy and later
in Germany, he remained, living in semi-house arrest under
the close surveillance of the Gestapo, till, when the war ended,
he moved into a villa near Paris. From France he again moved
to Alexandria where he now remains in the custody of the
Egyptian Government.
It is hoped that in the interest of continued
good relations between the British and the Arabs, His Majesty's
Government will re-consider their present attitude towards the
one outstanding personality in whose integrity and leadership
the Arabs, both Christians and Moslems, place their confidence.
The Mufti holds the key.
To think that the Arabs will accept any proposal for the
solution of the deadlock in Palestine without the co-operation of
the Mufti, would simply be a grave mistake.
